Two rival teammates. One broken-down bus. A Christmas Eve that changes everything. After a winter storm strands the Rochester Copperheads in a tiny roadside motel on their way to a holiday showdown, Bob and Arnaud are forced to share the last available room, compliments of Walker, their fed-up team captain. They’ve spent the past two seasons butting heads on and off the ice, and Walker has had about enough of their fighting. Arnaud is the goalie with something to prove to the world, and who would flirt with a wall if he could. Then there’s Bob, the angry defenseman who refuses to let anyone get too close. Trapped together with only a flickering fireplace and a single bed, the tension shifts from anger to something dangerously electric. As snow falls outside and the fire crackles inside, they’re forced to face more than just the storm: old wounds, buried feelings, and the undeniable heat building between them for far too long. When the roads clear and the team moves on, will they return to just teammates? Or will one night of frost and firelight be enough to change their game forever? Frost and Firelight is a steamy MM hockey romance with forced proximity, hate-to-love tension, and all the warmth of the holidays.
